Issue Position: Health & Safety

Issue Position

Working with victims of domestic violence and their families, I recognized language and cultural barriers that prevent reporting and self-protection in violent situations. In the State Senate I will continue to advocate for policies that reduce violence in our homes and communities.

We can improve public safety, save taxpayer resources, and help people through difficult times by closing the revolving door of jail, homelessness, and crime that impacts too many Veterans and people struggling with mental illness and substance use disorder. Through innovation and reform, we can continue making progress at the state level in how we address these interrelated challenges, helping people and strengthening communities.
